Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Pirates of the Caribbean, no matter how badly I wish I did. I do stake claim to Theresa and Sam.

Trip Through Time

Chapter One: Have a Nice Trip

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two girls were sitting facing each other on a public bus rolling through the middle of the city. The two were talking very loudly, much to the annoyance of the rest of the bus' occupants. The louder of the two pulled the stop chord and got up as the bus came to a stop in front of a library.

"Oi Sam!" the redhead yelled to the girl getting off behind her. "What's our project subject?"

"T, pay attention in class and you'd know." Said the other as they made their way towards the entrance to the library.

"I'd also be far more tired," she turned and smiled. "So what's the subject?"

Sam sighed. "The class is studying 1600's, I picked pirates for us."

Theresa's eye's widened. "We get to do a report on Johnny Depp?!"

Sam laughed outright at her friend's eyes. "Pirates in general, not the movie, luv." The librarian glared at them so they quieted down to whispers.

Theresa began throwing candy corn down in a trail behind her.

"What are you doing? That's so not nice!" Sam always was the rule-following one.

"Week before Halloween, it's tradition to leave a trail of these things. No one eats them anyway. We're going forking on Halloween too. Your coming."

"Forking?"

"Aye, forking. Tis the tradtion of taking a load o' plastic forks, 'n stickin' them in someone's yard. When 't rains they be stuck in ta the ground 'n dun come out."

Sam laughed again. "Sure, why not. Lets split up, meet you in a while."

"Aye," said Theresa as she walked away.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Theresa was skipping along the back wall of the library looking for pirate books as she saw a open door that probably shouldn't have been.

Peeking in she saw titles that seemed to be rather magical.

"Warlock's Bane, Druid Rituals." She chucked a candy corn over her shoulder and wandered in.

Shmoozing about the shelves she found one of interest. "Pirate's Life for Me?"

Theresa replaced the book on the shelf and went to bring in Sam.

She grabbed Sam's arm and dragged her into the back room.

"What was that for?" Theresa was already bent over the closed book again and waved Sam over.

"Doesn't this one look cool?" With that she flipped it open.

The book glowed a deep red and the two girls gasped and passed out. They faded into the book as a new illustration grew on the page.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The two landed with a thud. They lay like that until they were approached and a foot lightly kicked Theresa.

She groaned and rolled over onto Sam who in turn woke up.

Sam rubbed her head. "What the bloody hell happened?"

Theresa didn't answer. She was staring open mouthed at the figure who stood with cutlass pointed at her chest.

Sam turned to see why her friend wasn't responding. "Oh my god! Johnny Depp!"

Theresa sat still open mouthed as the sword slowly lowered. She jumped up and hugged the figure. "You're Captain Jack Sparrow!"

The man with tangled hair with beads wound in was startled by a greeting he rarely received. "That I am luv."

Theresa turned to help up her friend who hadn't moved.

Sam looked around, "Where are you headed?" She asked the Captain urgently.

Jack was a tad bit confused with all that was happening around him. "Tortuga." He responded.

"Tortuga," Sam whispered, "That means…"

"Hey Jack, what do I do with this." A man stood holding a rope which tied off somewhere in the rigging above.

"Will Turner!" Sam squeaked, her voice cracking.

"Oh, who are they?" Will asked. He was fair certain no one else was on the ship when they commandeered it.

A/N: So the whole general sucked into book thing with friend reading it came from Fushigi Yuugi. Leave a review and tell me what you think. I'll give a Jack doll to me first reviewer, arr.
